Pros

Your intelligence is reassured. The people around you know what they're talking about, so you know that any of your questions can be answered. As an engineer, you're given a lot of responsibility, and you find yourself testing a lot of your own work, so you'll probably notice you'll be developing projects a lot better and more serious than what you did in college. As an intern you get to work on many parts of a product that will be released. Unlike some other companies, your hours aren't spent scripting and documenting. You'll also be put in tough situations before a product release. The best part about an internship is that by the end of your twelve weeks, you'll have a lot to add to your resume.

Cons

Food from the cafeteria is expensive. Some divisions and teams receive more respect than others.

Pros

The projects are very exciting. You complete a project from start to finish and typically design the entire product. This is really nice because I get to learn all aspects of electrical engineering and become more valuable. It also keeps my options open if I decide to get a different job. The company cares about its employees. We have a winter party that is absolutely amazing, and totally free to EVERY employee. We also get a free trip to the local amusement park once per year. You get completely free health, dental and vision benefits. Also there are several optional benefits that you can choose to receive at a significant discount. The work environment is just fun.

Cons

The raises could be better.
